Creative arts students at Reading College celebrated the end of the academic year with an exhibition.

Projects including fine art, photography, graphic design, fashion and 2D and 3D mixed media were viewed by guests and the private and public at the show last month.

Graphic design student Sam Hinkley, 18, who recently had his illustrations published in children’s book The Dragon’s Flowers had some of his illustrations on sale at the exhibition.

Sam said: “It’s been a really great experience working on the book and exhibiting it. People have shown a lot of interest in the book, both to work out which drawings include photos and to purchase it. Hopefully it will be being read as a bedtime story across the country soon.”

College principal Lesley Donoghue said: “The standard of work by our students is simply outstanding, they’ve really proven themselves as artists. Our annual exhibition is both a celebration of talent and a fitting way to say goodbye to those students who are moving on to university or into employment. I wish them the best of luck in the future.”

Applications are still being accepted for creative arts courses starting in September 2014. Students receiving their GCSE and A-level results are welcome to attend two summer advice days on Thursdays, August 14 and 21, between noon and 6pm.
